compared to the extensive information about American artists.

Now best known for his Schilderboeck, which included biographies of 15th- and 16th-Century Netherlandish artists, Karel van Mander was born into a wealthy family in Meulebeke in Flanders. His humanistic education included the study of poetry and painting, first with Lucas de Heere (circa 1534-1584) and then with Pieter Vlerick (1539-1581), and he showed a marked talent as a draughtsman, though only forty of his drawings survive today.
